Infiniti Cars Australia will have to go without a mid-sized SUV offering for a little while longer, with the company confirming with CarAdvice that the all-new QX50 has been delayed for our market yet again.
After initially being earmarked for a late 2018 debut in Australia, Infiniti's local director told CarAdvice in July last year its Mercedes-Benz GLC fighter would lob Down Under in mid-2019.
2018 Infiniti QX50 revealed, confirmed for Oz - UPDATE

UPDATE: Infiniti has officially detailed the QX50 ahead of its debut in LA. See article for details.
The 2018 Infiniti QX50 has been revealed in a single image ahead of its debut at the Los Angeles motor show next week.
The single frontal image doesn't offer any surprises, looking very much like a toned-down version of the QX50 concept revealed at the Detroit motor show earlier this year (below).
The upcoming 2018 Infiniti QX50 is a model the local arm is very keen to get its hands on, according to the company's manager for product planning.
Speaking with CarAdvice at the local launch of the new Q60 Red Sport coupe earlier this week, Bernard Michel, product planning manager for Infiniti Cars Australia, said a rival to models like the Mercedes GLC, Audi Q5 and BMW X3 would fill a major void in the company's line-up.
